Steal this for your own video
No is perfect, but a who because they comes pretty close.
- — No therapist is perfect, but a therapist who tells you what you need to hear instead of what you want to hear because they actually want you to heal comes pretty close.
- — No business partner is perfect, but a business partner who points out your blind spots because they want the company to win comes pretty close.
- — No coach is perfect, but a coach who pushes you past your excuses because they believe in what you're capable of comes pretty close.
